With the 2012 regular season in the books, it's a time for a reflection and evaluation of what we watched and who we watched on the field this past year. Our semi-esteemed panel of writers and contributors did all their homework and their research, and each of us submitted our ballots for what we believe are the best selections for the First-Team All-Pro of 2012. Upon these ballots being summarily rejected for some nonsensical hogwash about us not being actual members of the AP, PFWA, or Sporting News, we decided to compile them together here and create our own All-Pro team! With blackjack! And hookers!
